The lift is now moving up the coast as the Hepburn forecast suggested. Unfortunately I have had to keep my aerials low
today due to strong winds. Now I going out so I may have to give this one a miss - unless it's happening later when I
get home and the winds have dropped.

John as i posted earlier in the week + received RSI 1 107.8 last friday it would seem Hepburn s forecast are coming up trumps for favorable DX locations. Alas

John as i posted earlier in the week + received RSI 1 107.8 last friday it would seem Hepburn's forecast are coming up trumps for favorable DX locations. Alas this evening hasn't been the case for my Ile de France QTH, as much of what's been received here has only been distant NE French inland FM:-(

Look's like you're suffering problem the same problems i have when strong winds are about beit here or over in Brittany. Mind you the aerials here can be tilted for removal but not so in the Morbihan.

Cheers and Good DX

Nothing dramatic but there are definite signs of a German lift. Scharteburg and Barbelkreuz transmitters are stable and Barbelkreuzin particular is noise

Mr Hepburn suggests that those further south should be doing better.

Good DX!

Hello John,

Though not a great DX distance i was receiving 95.7 VRT 2 @ Egem 320km earlier overloading levels. Now VRT 2 has faded out and the FM here is quiet but keep an eye out on the Charts for this week as they're looking very promising?

Hi Dave. Your comments further prove that the full strength of the tropo is not quite reaching this far north. It s certainly been very interesting this

Hi Dave.

Your comments further prove that the full strength of the tropo is
not quite reaching this far north. It's certainly been very
interesting this evening and I have logged a few more German
transmitters, but it's all been up and down. At 9pm the lift had
almost gone, but it's back up again an hour later.

Right now I am getting several Belgian transmitters at RDS level.
The same goes for Lille, Neufchatel, Ijsselstein and Egem. Q Music
on 100.7 from Goes is like a local at times.

Yes, those colours look very enticing on the Hepburn charts for next
weekend. :-)

Hahaha John,

I recently posted a thread about the possibility of Paranormal DX'ing on AM etc and since then i've noticed yourself, another member & i (uploaded a incorrect mp3 file this evening) making mistakes which rarely ever happened before i posted the said thread, but are very frequently (in your case atleast:-)) now LoL.

Cheers and good dx'ing

Picking up here very nicely again. Belgium and Holland are also quite big, especially on the beach! Just took the car radio to my favourite sea front car park.

better than it is at home 2km from the sea front.

Good DX!

Just turned the tuner back on and Steinkimmen is back on 91.1. Signals from SE England are better than earlier on as well. Good DX. Nick, Whitchurch,

Will have to try the horizontal now to see if the Germans are in
here too.

Nothing else though from across the water.

Current location Beverley, Yorkshire.

Moving to Mablethprpe on the Lincolnshire coast tomorrow.

It s a struggle Ian. 91.1 is currently very weak here, although you may do better in that direction judging from previous lifts. Getting all those pirates here

Getting all those pirates here too Ian but only weak or very weak on the horizontal! BBC Essex is 3 bars on the Kenwood on 95.3 - a pretty strong signal.
